Renewable energy development

hazards run very high. Only when the environment is laden with harmful chemicals or particles this type of air purifier is used. This is not used for domestic purposes but if the need arises you should not be living there at all. The Department of Energy is the only torso that can provide certification to all HEPA filters. The DOE has very stringent standards. It maintains that all HEPA filters should be able to trap 95% of all the particulate matter from the surrounding air up to the size of…

these good properties also generate great problems to our environment. Current levels of use and disposal generate several environmental problems. Around 4% of crude oil is used as raw material for plastics and 3 to 4% extra are consumed to provide energy for manufacturing process. The major usage is disposable packaging or other products of short duration that are disposed within a year. Based on these two facts, it is obvious that our current use of plastics is not sustainable. Plastic waste…

the year of 2014, the energy consumption of all the citizens of the United States was 4093 billion kilowatt-hours. The citizens of United States, are among the top consumers of electricity. To fulfill such a high demand of electricity, the government of United States has…

Gas hydrates and more specifically methane hydrates are an untapped source of energy that should be exploited in the coming years. It is widely known humans obtain too much energy from burning fossil fuels. However, this has caused the warming of our planet to accelerate with catastrophic consequences. People have known about the energy capabilities of gas hydrates for some time, but it is not until recently that researchers have begun the process of testing whether it is feasible. Some will…

uranium and make nuclear energy, and the after result is nuclear waste. Nuclear waste is a problem we had for decades. The 3 Mile Island is one of the biggest nuclear problem we, and yet barely any of the nuclear waste got out it caused a huge amount of damage to the environment. Not everybody will agree that nuclear waste can be used for good because nuclear waste did take many lives and caused a lot deformities. People can use nuclear waste to help humanity. Nuclear Energy can fuel rockets to…

The National Emergency Petroleum Act was passed in 1973. It was in response to the crude oil and petroleum crisis. This action was taken by President Richard Nixon. It states that the President has the promulgate regulation to distribute and control price of petroleum products. This was big in the oil crisis because we were running out of oil and no one could get it. If it weren’t for President Nixon our country could have been in deep trouble with no oil or petroleum products . This means that…

By 1899 The Carnegie Steel Company dominated the American Steel Industry, with the steel came the expansion of the railroad: at the forefront was Cornelius Vanderbilt whose main goal eventually became to monopolize the railroad system. Soon after came the rise of John D. Rockefeller Jr., whose fortune was beginning to grow with the creation of an oil refinery. It was the agreement that Rockefeller would fill Vanderbilt's trains with oil that required him to monopolize the petroleum industry, but…

The steam engine was invented in by Thomas Savery in 1698 and by Thomas Newcomen in 1705. These engines used the energy from burning coal to drive water pumps that were used to drain the water from mines that would fill up with water. These steam engines would later be modified by a man with the name of James Watt. Watt was working in a factory that was used to produce instruments when a model of a steam engine was placed on his desk for repair. Upon investigation Watt discovered how truly…

A nuclear power plant uses Nuclear Fission to create energy. Nuclear fission occurs when a neutron passes by a heavy nucleus such as Uranium-235, the nucleus may capture the neutron which may or may not cause nuclear fission. If the reactor used is U-235 when a neutron is captured the energy is spread out through the 236 nucleons (both protons and neutrons) that are currently present in the nucleus. This nucleus is likely to break up into two fragments due to its instability. These fragments are…

There have been recent complaints from North Dakota residents that there is a “black snake” forcing itself onto their private land. I thought that this was America! First of all, no need to have private land, this country was built on the values of sharing. Just look at the first Thanksgiving! Such a wonderous turnout don’t you think? Anyways, enough of the history we know and love so dearly. Let’s get back to the trivial topic of the Native Americans not wanting to allow the good-intentioned…
